Is there any way to do that in Xcode 6.x?
By hand following various sets of instructions you find littered around the web seems to be the only answer I've found. That's the same answer for symbolicating OSX crashes and I'm not very good at it. I've had most success with the crashlog command in lldb (http://lldb.llvm.org/symbolication.html <http://lldb.llvm.org/symbolication.html>) but I always start from scratch every time and re-learn the same things I did the last time. This post by Sean in reply to one of mine from quite a long time ago got me started http://lists.apple.com/archives/xcode-users/2014/Jul/msg00261.html <http://lists.apple.com/archives/xcode-users/2014/Jul/msg00261.html>. AFAICT lldb still gets confused by tabs :(. I completely don't understand why XCode 6 made that change and only shows logs for devices currently connected to your machine, when it used to show all crash logs for all devices you had ever connected to your machine. They're still there in the filesystem, they're still incredibly useful, you can just no-longer get to them. Nor do I understand why it doesn't symbolicate OSX crashes too. After our last thread about this back in September (http://prod.lists.apple.com/archives/xcode-users/2014/Sep/msg00037.html <http://prod.lists.apple.com/archives/xcode-users/2014/Sep/msg00037.html>) which went nowhere I filed rdar://18590574 which remains open. Perhaps you'd like to file one asking for the ability to see crash logs from previously connected devices to be reinstated and dupe mine. I find it hard to believe this change was intentional, but I find it just as hard to believe it could have happened by accident.
